Brief Answer:
Possible fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can certainly understand your concerns..

I apologize for the delayed response owning to my work schedule schedule.

I have worked through your unloaded images as well.

This could be possible fungal infection, mostly candida infection.

This requires oral antifungal therapy.

I generally prescribe my patients with oral pills of FLUCAN 200mg once a day for 4 days.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe the same to you.

Keep a follow up.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
